Our people

"GET TO KNOW THE FAMILY & TEAM..."

Exodus Safaris stems from a vibrate tourist family. Edward and Joan, with friends Robertson and Bruce, are Kenyan born and brewed – and now live in Kenya and South African countries. Our African heritage and close knit family have seen us travel overland through the African bush for over 30 years. Every family member is ‘instilled’ with a great love of the African land. Going on Safari in Africa for us is not a holiday, it is lifestyle. We want to share these real Safari experiences with you. We champion the wilds of Africa, educating, conserving and supporting as we do so.

We can’t wait to share our wild Africa with you!
